FRIENDS
As recorded by The Police
(From the 1993 Box MESSAGE IN A BOX: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS)
[Verse 1]
AmI likes to eat my friends and Amake no bones about it Am
I likes to eat my friends, AI couldn't do without it
AmAin't a man or poet, friend, I Aknow just how you'll taste
Your Amlimbs go sliding down my throat and Anever go to waste
Your Amdeath, of course, will sadden me, unAtil I grok your essence
I Amknow your life was not in vain when diAgestion is commencing
ConAmsider this a celebration and the Adeepest pact of friends
And I Amhope that you will dine on me when AI come to an end Gadd9

[Verse 2]
AmEven friends may come to you with a Anew found revelation
But Amthink of it as life renewed and Anot their termination
'To kAmnow you is to eat you" should Abe the code of lovers
Death Ambrings the highest act of love preserAved for one another

AmPeople say that what you are Ais only what you eat
And my Amfriends become a part of me, oh well Aits then that life's complete
To lovAme you is to eat you, the Aact of love supreme
Each Amone of us inside himself can Aappetize the dream
